Parent child relationships

 Dear all

We have never used parent-child setups in the past because of a nervousness that users would be presented with them in picklists and get frustrated when the parent value couldn't be used to post.

Does anyone know if there is a patch or a fix to ensure that only "postable" segment values (ie child and currently open) appear in picklists in SSP?

We're also interested in whether using parent/child and summary accounts is felt to drain the system / use up too much processing time and space on servers.

All views welcome, thanks for reading.
